A Camogie victory celebration is understood to be among six alleged unnotified parades being investigated by police in the wake of the Drumcree controversy.
A gathering last Sunday after Dunloy’s local camogie team won an Antrim title after more than two decades is believed to be one of the alleged breaches of the Public Processions Act to have taken place over the past week.
Police have confirmed they are probing six separate recent alleged unnotified processions.
They include loyalist parades in Bangor and Belfast’s Shankill Road, as well as protests by loyalists in Derry’s Waterside area and in Newtownabbey.
Another alleged unnotified procession relates to Belfast’s Tennent Street.
Details of a planned loyalist protest from Woodvale Park to the PSNI station on Tennent Street last Tuesday were shared on social media.
Some loyalists have said they are withdrawing co-operation from both the Parades Commission and the PSNI over the banning of an Orange Order parade along Portadown’s mainly nationalist Garvaghy Road.
The Parades Commission had ruled that after almost 30 years, the parade from Drumcree Church could go ahead last month.
Marchers were blocked as residents were joined by hundreds of fellow protestors in taking to the Garvaghy Road, leading to a 13-day stand-off.
Police are investigating the alleged unnotified protest, and have written to protestors, including MLAs and other politicians, inviting them for interview.
NI Secretary Chris Bryant intervened last week to ban the parade, while a legal appeal against his decision will be heard in Belfast on Monday.
Police have included an alleged unnotified procession in Dunloy last Sunday among the six incidents relating to the past week.
It is understood this relates to street celebrations in the Co Antrim village after local club Dunloy Cuchullains won the Antrim senior camogie title for the first time in 23 years.
Crowds gathered in the village last Sunday evening to cheer on the squad as they went through the village on an open-topped lorry.
Fireworks were let off during the gathering, while the lorry was preceded by an accordion band.
PSNI Assistant Chief Constable Anthony McNally said: “The right to participate in a public procession is a fundamental human right. However, this is balanced by the need to uphold the rights of others, protect public health and safety, minimise disruption to normal life and by the need to prevent and detect crime.”
“As part of this, a procession is required to submit lawful notification before proceeding and the absence of this notification may constitute an offence.
“This assessment is informed by public safety, the prevention of disorder and the need that any response is lawful, necessary and proportionate.
“We would remind anyone organising a public procession or parade of their responsibility to comply with the relevant notification requirements and engage with police.
“We will protect the rights of everyone, and we will continue to monitor the situation and engage with those involved.”
